Nevada County picayune., 1887-03-02

Mir. John W Gardner, editor and propri- etor of the Nevada County Picayune of Prescott, has made so many improvements in his excellent journal that it is hardly recog- niZable. Better paper, new type and nll printed at home are strong cards in its favor It deserves and should receive the patronage of every true democrat of its section.
 The above very complimentary notice, appeared in last Sundays Daily Arkansas Gazette. Coming as it does from the mother of jour nalism in this State, the "Old Lady" as she is often termed, we appreciate it most highly, and tip our chapeau in acknowledgement. Yes, the PICAYUNE has made much improvcmcnt-our new power power press, etc, are show ing up nicely.

Refunding the Cotton Tax.

The following We copy from the Little Rock Daily Democrat, which shows "Our Toms" cotton tax re- funding bill is not so ridiculous af- ter all, and may yet reach a just solution:
 We have just received a copy Of the able speech of Hon. T. C. McRae, delivered in the house of representative on the l4th ult., OH his bill ito credit and pay to the States all moneys collected as d tax or duty on raw cotton, under the act approved July lst, 1862, and the acts amendatory thereto" His bill is now under considera- tion of the judiciary committee, in connection with the direc: tax bill lately passed by the senate. In advocacy of his bill Mir. McRae takes the true ground that this cotton tax was unconstitutional and wrong, and that it ought, of right, to be refunded to the pro. ducers, where this is possible, and where this cannot be done, it should go to the States for a school fund. The following is the full text of the bill:
 Be it enacted, etc. that the secretary of the treasury be, and he is hereby authorized and di- rected to credit and pay to each State sum equal to the amounts collected therein respectively as d tax or duty on raw cotton, under the act approved Jgly l, 1862. and the supplemental and amendatory acts thereto, which sums, when so credited and paid, shall be accept. ed and held by the States in trust, first, for such of the producers who paid said tax or duty, or their legal repi esenta,ives, as may make claim to and prove their identity, and the amount of taxes paid, in two years after the passage of this act, and second, the remainder, if any, 10 be held and used only as a permanent free school fund.
 Sec ,. That there is hereby ap- prOpriated, out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appr0- prlated, such sums as may be nee, esSary to carry out the pro- visions of this act: Provided, That any State accepting the trust hereby created is pro. hlhited from paying any part of the funds received t0 any person, syndicate or corporation, except the producers who paid the taxes on cotton grown by them or their legal representatives; and in no case shall the payment be made to an assignee of such claim.n
 Hon. T. C. McRae has used his best efforts to secure the return of Ihls tax 10 the people of the South. rom whom it was collected in vio- Iation of the constitution and of every principle of right and justice. rhere Is mo lane so long that it has 10 turn, and his efforts may vet he awarded with success. Whether hey are or not. he deserves thanks or his persistent efforts in behalf # the rights ot his constituents.

As it T, ceived the requisite vote. it now deroives upon the Senate to give us this much need ed legislation, which is demanded by every paper in the State and the people of the entire State. Another bill passed by the House, the Balch railroad bill. demanded alike by press and people. goes to the Senate for it's action and fiat.

The principal watcr-roursc Is Little Ms ,ouri river, Il beautiful stream which has its source in the Caddo mountains. It flows in southcasterly direction, forming the boundary line between Nevada and Clark counties for Il long distance. Before the rail- roads penetrated this section, small steamers navigatcd the river during the winter and spring seasons. The land along the margin of the river ts fertile and exceedingly well tim6ercd. The bottom is valuable stock range It has few lagoons and bay"us, and is not considered sicllly stream. The Tcrrc Rouge creek Is the next largest stream. It crosses the northern part of the county from the west to the cast, cmptying into the Little Missouri river The Cancv creek drains the central portion of the county, flowing into the Little Missouri river from the west. south of the Terre Rouge. The Bodcaw isa small creek in the southwestern portion of county. The land bordering on it is very fertile. It flows south into the Dorcheat, Il tributary of Red river.
